I use apple maps and google I can say that in my area apple is far more accurate when I start a trip apple actually understands my house where google thinks I live a click down the street. It is interesting to see so many americans bashing the iphone when apple stock has such an impact on the american economy. I personally as often as I can buy local made, Canadian made, American made then Europe and Asia. If it costs a bit more so be it. I would much rather put money into a economy that does me some good than ship my money to Korea.
